Do you want to contribute to creating security and business opportunities in a global operation where security is a decisive success factor? Then the role of Security Specialist – Market & Sales at Saab Aeronautics could be your next career step.
At Saab Aeronautics, security is a strategic prerequisite for successful business. The Security department's mission is to create business value, protect our employees, assets and reputation, and enable profitable and sustainable business in an international market.
As Security Specialist – Market & Sales, you will have a central role in supporting and developing security work within Saab's Aeronautics business area. You will work closely with the sales and marketing organizations and become an important partner in identifying risks, creating safe conditions for business, and ensuring that security requirements are met throughout the process.
You will be part of a dedicated security team and will also collaborate with functions such as IT, legal, export control, ethics and compliance, facility management, and other security functions within Saab. Together you contribute to combining high security requirements with the business's objectives.
An important part of your role will be to actively support Aeronautics' marketing and sales work related to the Gripen system. You will work closely with the business, build international networks, and contribute your security expertise in contexts where trust, risk awareness and professional judgment are crucial.
You will support, among other things, by:
•Managing security risks in an international business environment – identifying, assessing and managing security issues related to sales and marketing activities in Sweden and abroad.
•Ensuring compliance and good risk management – carrying out activities within governance, compliance and risk assessment within your area of responsibility.
•Strengthening the security culture – training and raising security awareness among Saab's employees, business partners and customers.
•Protecting sensitive products and operations – planning and managing security at exhibitions and events where sensitive products from Aeronautics are presented.
•Contributing to safety in all situations – supporting incident and crisis management as well as security planning ahead of travel and operations at various facilities.
With us, you get to combine strategic security work with practical efforts close to the business. You will have the opportunity to take responsibility, influence working methods and contribute to Saab being able to conduct its international operations in a secure and successful way.
Your Profile
We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in security, motivated by converting their expertise into concrete value for the business. You thrive in an international environment where collaboration, business understanding and the ability to see the whole picture are at least as important as security expertise.
You are relationship-oriented and find it easy to build trust, create contacts and collaborate with people at different levels, both internally and externally. You communicate clearly, act professionally and feel confident making well-founded decisions – even in complex situations. You have high integrity and the ability to balance business needs with the demands placed on security and regulatory compliance.
You are curious, proactive and keep up to date with changes in legislation, regulations and security requirements within your area of responsibility. With your understanding of international business operations, you can identify potential threats and risks and translate these insights into solutions that support both security and business.
We are looking for someone who has:
•A university education in security or risk management, or equivalent competence through several years of relevant work experience.
•Experience of international work, preferably from international security assignments.
•Very good communication skills in English and Swedish, both spoken and written.
•Good business understanding and the ability to view security issues from a commercial perspective.
•Knowledge of relevant regulations, standards and established working methods within the security field.
•Experience of incident and crisis management.
It is advantageous if you also have:
•Background within the police, military, or public or private security operations.
•Experience working with security requirements, including Swedish security protection and international standards, for example ISO 27001.
•Experience of project management and coordination of work between different functions.
•The ability to hold engaging presentations and communicate security issues clearly and in a way adapted to the target audience.
We place great importance on your personal qualities and your ability to build trusting relationships. It is important to us that you can contribute both your security expertise and create an understanding of the importance of security in the business.
The position is primarily based in Linköping and involves travel, both within Sweden and internationally.
The position requires that you undergo and are approved according to the security protection regulations in force at the time. For positions where Saab has requirements for security clearance classification, this may, where applicable, entail requirements regarding specific citizenship.
